Ali Fazal stops 'Tadka' shoot due to bad health

Actor Ali Fazal has taken a break from the shoot of his upcoming film "Tadka" following health issues.

The 29-year-old "Fukrey" actor, who was shooting in Goa with co-star Nana Patekar, left for Delhi to consult his doctors.

Fazal was advised bed rest after being diagnosed with infection and extreme body temperature.

"Seem like Goa's air didn't agree with me. I have been running fever for a long time but earlier this week I had to pause shoot. I will resume work soon and will join the team again in Goa hopefully by this weekend," he said in a statement.

"Tadka" marks the Bollywood directorial debut of actor Prakash Raj. The film is the Hindi remake of his Tamil film "Un Samayal Arayil". Actress Taapsee Pannu is playing Fazal's love interest in the movie which also stars Shriya Saran.

The "Singham" actor has roped in legendary musician Ilaiyaraaja to compose the music for the movie.
